Miscarriage - older dads?

[onehereoneabove]

I lost my baby well into my second trimester this year, I’ve been coping ok ish I’ve got my first period since at the moment so I’m feeling a bit fragile but I’ve just read a post on a different thread about links between older dads and miscarriage and I’m in tears thinking is that what happened to me. My husband is 42. We’ve been gearing up to try again, is this a mistake? I don’t want to give up 😭

I’m reading up on it now and it’s so worrying. I’m so sad 😞

Hi,I don’t have any advice - only to say I’m in the same boat. I’m 34 and my husband is 41, we had a missed miscarriage at 16 weeks and are still waiting for the post mortem results.
I'm not sure that they would say paternal age is a factor but when you read online it does seem to increase the risk of miscarriage but it’s not really spoken about? I always thought maternal age was were the risks came from?

Did the hospital say anything? I might ask the consultant when we get our results? I’m worried about trying again as we are both not getting any younger 🥴.

Hope you are ok 💐

My exh was 44, 46 and 48 when we had dc. All I read was birth marks in dc is more common from older df's. Which the middle dc had on his face but faded by a year old. There are many way older celebs who became df's..

I'm sorry for your loss

Miscarriage in the second trimester is pretty rare OP so unlikely to be chromosome related at this point so affected by the age of the father x

I feel so sad about it all.. he's not getting younger and there's so many horrible things out there about decreasing sperm quality, I just don't want this to be it for me :(
